DOI: 10.22161/ijeab/4.2.2

Abstract:
The use of biochar and biocompost can be one solution to the addition of organic matter in soybean cultivation. This study aims to obtain a good description of the role of biochar and biocompost on growth, yield, and N uptake. The results of the study show that: (1) Application of biochar in soybean plants affects plant height, number of vacuous pods, number of pods containing, weight 100 seeds, and N uptake compared with no biochar application. (2) Biocompost application has a significant effect on the height of soybean plants aged 2,3, 4 and 5 weeks after planting, dry weight, seed weight, number of vacuous pods and number of pods filled. (3) Biocompost with a liquid form dose of 2.5 grams/plant significantly affected the number of filled pods and the number of soybean pods. (4) Liquid biocompost dose of 5 grams/plant affects dry weight and plant height of 2 MST. While the 7.5 gram/plant liquid biocompost has an effect on the weight of soybean seed plants.
